Seeing as our biggest issue at the moment is confidence, I don't see too much wrong with it.
He was one of our best last week, so he's backing it up.

exactly
and i'd have thought anyone watching recent essendon games would've noted reimers as being one of the harder blokes in the team
he's still raw but at least he has a crack
maybe the rest of the bombers should follow his lead, get some flashy boots and have a serious go

Those boots are shockers. Bright orange! 
He used that exact same line last week.
Good to see Dennis is now recycling his lines on a weekly basis.

I love how he has this ability to appeal to the younger audience though by comparing tackles to WWE finishing moves and talking about No Country For Old Men ect.
Best commentator in sport imo.

I agree mate

The kid smashed Dale Thomas like a guitar! He can wear what he wants! <3

He comes up with some beauties Dennis!
He's just a WA w***er, that keeps recycling the same lines.
I was at the game and I must say that he'll need more strings to his bow than he showed tonight if he's to survive at AFL level.
He's an absolute seagull. Runs around without an opponent getting cheap kicks. Stood 10m off the pack at all times by himself.
Won't get away with that for too long. Coaches will begin to pay him more respect, as he gets more confident at AFL level and becomes more damaging.
Will be interesting to see if he can adapt, as many of these types of players who look the goods early on never make it anywhere.
Not afraid to get stuck into blokes off the ball, with a bit of nudging etc, but did very little of the inside stuff tonight.
Many of Essendon's youngsters impressed me tonight (Myers was excellent, Houli continued on strongly, Nash and Winderlich are both finally looking very comfortable out there), but I don't like what I see in orange boots boy.
He had 18 possessions and hit targets all night. Can't really expect much more than that from an 18 year old.
Perhaps, just not convinced that he'll make it once he has an opponent to play on. You can tell that Myers, Houli etc will be 150+ gamers. Not at all convinced about Reimers, despite a statistically good game. From where I was sitting at the ground, I don't like the look of him.

On Reimers, I rate the kid, moves well when he has the pill and seems to hit targets the majority of the time.
But who ever mentioned he stands a free metres off the pack and waits for a loose ball is spot on. In the centre square tonight he was seagulling something cronic.
Was good though, regardless.

Andrew McLeod has far better balance, disposal, legspeed and skills than Reimers, and always has. It was evident early on that he would be a top notch player.
I'm not suggesting there is no place in football for outside players. McLeod is one, and is a brilliant player.

I'm not shirking the issue.
I maintain that he's a seagull, who runs around with nobody on him at this stage, and looks like he'll struggle once opposition coaches pay him respect.
McLeod is an outside player, but he still generally has an opponent, and is often tagged. The majority of the time he's able to overcome this. From what I've seen, I'm not sure Reimers will be able to.
I will conceed, however, that it's a very big call to make on a player in his first season. As I said, it will be interesting to see whether his future performances prove me wrong or not.
